Within a broad-ranging examination of Japan's "semi-democratic" political system from 1918 to 1932, when political parties tended to dominate the government, the book analyzes in detail why this system collapsed in 1932 and discusses the implications of the failure. By reference to comparable cases--prewar Argentina, prewar Germany, postwar Brazil, and 1980s Thailand--Harukata Takenaka reveals that the factors responsible for the breakdown of the Taisho democracy in Japan replicated those that precipitated the collapse of democracy in Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere in Asia. While most literature on these transitions focuses on successful cases, Takenaka explores democratic failure to answer questions about how and why political parties and their leaders can behave in ways that undermine the democratic institutions that serve as the basis for their formal authority.--|cPublisher description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1912-1945|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Democracy|zJapan|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009123148|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 7 Democracy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/890077 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 Japan|xPolitics and government|y1912-1945.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85069553 651 7 Japan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204082 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTakenaka, Harukata, 1971-|tFailed democratization in prewar Japan.|dStanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2014|z9780804763417|w(DLC) 2013038540|w(OCoLC)859253185 830 0 Studies of the Walter H.
